.

Congratulations and Welcome Aboard!

This Owner’s Guide was designed to acquaint you with the safe, proper operation and

maintenance of your new boat and its systems. Your first duty as Captain of your new

Carver should be to read your Owner’s Guide and all manufacturer-supplied operating and

maintenance instructions found within your Owner’s Information kit.

Be sure to mail in all manufacturer registrations and warranty cards to validate your

Carver and OEM warranties. These warranty cards have been assembled and are contained

in the OEM information packets within your Owner’s Information kit.

If you’re new to boating, learn the proper rules of seamanship to ensure the safety of your

passengers. Refer to Chapman’s Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling and attend

a safe boating class offered by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Power Squad-

ron, or any enterprise experienced in conducting safe boating courses.

Thank you for choosing Carver. We’re confident your new boat will provide you and your

family with years of enjoyable cruising.

Using Your Owner’s Information Kit

Your Owner’s Information kit contains this Owner’s Guide and a set of

manuals referred to as “OEM information.” Please read the Owner’s

Guide and OEM information carefully and familiarize yourself with your

boat before operating the boat or any of its components or systems.

IMPORTANT: The Owner’s Information kit must be onboard whenever

your boat is operated. If you sell your boat, make sure the new owner

receives the entire kit.

Owner’s Guide

This guide explains how to safely operate and maintain your boat and its

various systems. The guide also contains safety precautions and opera-

tional tips, as described below.

Describes a hazard that can cause death or severe injury if the instruc-

tions are ignored.

Describes a hazard that can cause serious injury and/or property damage

if the instructions are ignored.

Describes a hazard that can cause damage to your boat or its compo-

nents if the instructions are ignored.

NOTE: Provides important information that can help you avoid problems.

A TIP FROM CARVER!

There are many people within the Carver organization who are avid boaters.

Some of the experience gained during our years of boating are presented in this

Owner's Guide. This information is presented in the left margin and is entitled “A

TIP FROM CARVER.”

If this is your first boat, or if you are changing to a type of boat you are

not familiar with, for your own comfort and safety, please obtain han-

dling and operation experience before operating the boat. Your dealer or

national sailing federation or yacht club can advise you of local sea

schools or competent instructors.

NOTE: Drawings and illustrations contained within this guide are in-

cluded as graphic aids to assist in the general operation and maintenance

of your boat. These drawings and graphics do not include all details of

each system and are not drawn to scale. Do not reference these drawings

to order parts or to service your boat. Contact your authorized Carver

Dealer for any parts or service required for your boat.

The information contained in this Owner’s Guide was complete and

accurate at the time the guide was printed. Carver reserves the right to

change materials, part numbers, specifications, or system designs at any

time without notice.

OEM Information

The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) information is supplied by

companies from whom Carver has purchased components to install in

your boat. These components include, but are not limited to, standard

items like the engines, sanitation system, various pumps, and 12-volt

batteries, as well as optional items like the air conditioning system and

navigation systems. The OEM information explains how to operate and

maintain the components.

If you install an aftermarket accessory on your boat, add the OEM infor-

mation that accompanies the accessory to the Owner's Information kit.

NOTE: If the OEM information conflicts with this Owner’s Guide, follow

the instructions in the OEM information.

Pre-Delivery Service Record

The Pre-Delivery Service Record that follows this page must be com-

pleted and signed by your Carver Dealer before you take delivery of your

new Carver yacht. Your Carver Dealer will prepare your boat for deliv-

ery in accordance with the procedures detailed within this document.

Be certain that the boat’s Pre-Delivery Service Record and all OEM

warranty cards have been completed and mailed to their respective

companies. Be sure you retain a copy of the Pre-Delivery Service Record

for your own reference.

Warranty Registration

Carver warrants every boat we manufacture as explained in the Carver

Limited Warranty. Your copy of the warranty is located in Section 9.

Please review the warranty carefully.

The Warranty Registration that follows this page is the first step in

activating your Carver limited warranty. This document must be com-

pleted and signed by you and your Carver Dealer before you take deliv-

ery of your new Carver yacht. Failure to complete and register this

Warranty Registration could void your Carver limited warranty.

Your Carver Dealer will review the terms of the Carver warranty and

make certain the warranty is registered with Carver.

To ensure that the warranty remains in effect during its lifetime, Carver

Boat Corporation, your Carver Dealer, and you must each uphold specific

responsibilities. These responsibilities are described in Section 9.

At time of delivery, make a complete inspection of the boat and its sys-

tems. Document any work that needs to be completed by the Dealer in

order to meet the terms of your agreement.

There are two cards located at the end of this Preface. These are Second

and Third Owner Registration Cards. We strongly recommend that the

purchaser of a previously-owned Carver register ownership with Carver.
